You think it hurts now? Wait until after the surgery is done. Even with painkillers, I couldn’t use the bathroom properly for near 24 hours afterwards. I was also confined to my house, near bed-ridden and had to walk very, very carefully, and very slowly for a week.

The weird thing is, this is an umbillical hernia. My bellybutton doesn’t hurt at all, it’s just got a weird lump on it. But I think a nerve is being touched that gives me the uncomfortable sensations down below.

Your health comes first. I can’t imagine the pain that you have endured sitting at you desk, working on the comic. Take all the time you need for your recovery. We will still be here when you can get up and around better. May God bless you and speed your recovery. And may he bless your surgeons & the operating room staff. And your nurses and caregivers, as well.

Hey, if you think we’re gonna blame you, you’ve got another think coming. With a malady like that I’d say you get carte blanche to take all the break time you need! Heaven knows, I’ve taken time away from my work for worse reasons.
